Hey...So what are your comments on this game..if you've played it. I actually just finished it...someone PM me that has also finished the game and understands it...b/c there are parts that I didn't catch onto and need clarifying. ???
 
Re: Halo 2

I have a buddy that finished it in like 15 hours. Actually pissed him off. He was unclear on a few things as well. He was like "that's it, what happened?"
 
Re: Halo 2

yeah...There are some parts were its hard to understand the dialoge..or it was for me anyways...and I was like "yeah so what did he just say." I didn't mind the ending...tho it was sudden. I also hate it when characters start talking right in the middle of you blasting away at enemies and trying to stay alive.

LOL, I hated that in the original as well, she's all "We need to get to blah, blah, blah" while you're getting cut in half by a Sentinel laser. It’s like “Damn it shut up”.
 
Re: Halo 2

..ive been blasting/slicing away at it for the last couple days. a few hours here or there. im pretty far into it. likely close to the end. its been pretty understandable so far. but i had a perfectly silent room, and the volume way up so i could hear what they said. alot of times i opted to restart a checkpoint so i could make heads or tails of what they were yapping about right then through all the gunfire though. sometimes i found the maps to be confusing as to where i was suppsed to be going though, and spend a couple minutes wandering around looking for some crack in the wall to slip through to get to the next checkpoint. i also hate the vertically split co-op screen. bah!

otherwise its certainly a fun and addictive game. the weaponry is pretty cool, and the levels are a good mix of all sorts of vehicles-terrain- interior/exterior- objectives and weapon tactics used. i think it will be more enjoyable to play through the seond time when its a bit easier to know whats going on and what im supposed to do though. then i can just enjoy the ride, and not worry about where it going.
 
Re: Halo 2

I've been told that if you set your Xbox to 4:3 ratio in your dashboard that the split screen goes back to horizontal. Haven't tried it yet, but I thought I'd share in case it's true.

Re: Halo 2

i think it is set to 4:3 but ill have to double check.. i havent really looked through all the settings yet.
 
Re: Halo 2

Wow!! I'm still not finish with the first one :D :D

I have to get it before Chrismast, if not the nephews will just blow me. ;D
 
Re: Halo 2

There were a couple of Resident Evil games like that where it was suddenly over and you were like: WTF?
 
Re: Halo 2

I have to wait till Christmas when I'm back home to get it! :(

It looks like a great game though. I was an addict with the Halo 1
 
Re: Halo 2

hey krestophre,

it worked! i went into the settings and the x box was set to widescreen, and after changing it to "normal" viewing the split scrren went horizontal.   WAAAAAAY better.. thanks man  :)

..my addiction is sad though. after a quick shoot yesterday, i was supposed to be editing last night but i took about 2 hours off to play Halo 2 and all of a sudden im left editing till 1 am.
so im tired today.. but ..eager for more. the bad part is dreaming about aliens all night cause youve played halo too much.

Be careful with your syntax... ;)
 
Re: Halo 2

When I finished Halo 2, I just started screaming at the TV. Terrible ending for that kind of game. It's fine and dandy to set up a sequel, but I need closure! As for people telling me 'it's just a good ol' cliffhanger' that's not an excuse because there's no telling how long it will be before 3 comes around. Inexcusable for HALO 2.

Also, if you hadn't picked up on it yet (i didn't until right at the end. so I'm slow) I give you these simple words to think about:

Flood
Ark
Convenant

Also, and I can't check it because I can't find my bible, I'm sure Master Chief's name "John" and his number "117" are also of importance.
 
Re: Halo 2

so what is it about those three words?  I thought about it and I don't know what it is....perhaps I already know but tell me.  PM if you have to.  I'm going to check out the John 117 thing.

ok I don't know what john 117 means....
 
Re: Halo 2
